Cheese cakes (under refrigeration) should be good for 5 -7 days. Or Frozen for 6-8 months. Anything after that and you are risking various changes such as dryness, spoilage, or even picking up other (unwanted) flavors from your refrigerator. I think Cheesecake is best after 24 hours in the fridge. Put said cake in a Rubbermaid container, place a paper towel over the top and seal the lid over the paper towel. This will collect the condensation from the cake and keep the cake well humidified but not water dripping on it.
How to defrost a block of frozen tofu. De-frost it as slowly as your time allows. Transferring it to the refrigerator a day before you need it is ideal. If you are in a hurry, defrost in the microwave (on the DEFROST setting) for about 3-4 minutes per 300g block. Itâs ok if itâs still a bit frozen in the middle. Once the water surrounding the tofu is melted, take the block out.
